“…In contrast, Brocherie et al 8 indicated that meta-analysis’ aggregated findings show a greater beneficial effect of RSH vs. RSN for improving mean RSA outcomes. Although the present findings add to the debate 40 , they question the type of drills used (more or less specific motor skills) during training and testing sessions, as well as the optimal combination of training variables (e. g., exercise-recovery ratio, session frequency). In addition, we cannot ignore that the present study includes a moderate hypoxic dose while the mean of the RSH studies recently meta-analyzed 8 was 9.4±3.1 RSH sessions including 1216±527 s sprinting duration over a 27.3±8.4 days period.…”

This study examined the physiological, physical and technical responses to repeated-sprint training in normobaric hypoxia [RSH, inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO 2 ) 14.5%] vs. normoxia (RSN, FiO 2 20.9%). Within 12 days, eighteen well-trained tennis players (RSH, n=9 vs. RSN, n=9) completed five specific repeated-sprint sessions that consisted of four sets of 5 maximal shuttle-run sprints. Testing sessions included repeated-sprint ability and Test to Exhaustion Specific to Tennis (TEST). TEST’s maximal duration to exhaustion and time to attain the ‘onset of blood lactate accumulation’ at 4 mMol.L −1 (OBLA) improvements were significantly higher in RSH compared to RSN. Change in time to attain OBLA was concomitant with observations similar in time to the second ventilatory threshold. Significant interaction (P=0.003) was found for ball accuracy with greater increase in RSH (+13.8%, P=0.013) vs. RSN (–4.6%, P=0.15). A correlation (r=0.59, P<0.001) was observed between change in ball accuracy and TEST’s time to exhaustion. Greater improvement in some tennis-specific physical and technical parameters was observed after only 5 sessions of RSH vs. RSN in well-trained tennis players.

“…Although a recent systematic review [19] has discussed the efficacy of LLTH to enhance sealevel physical performance, the effectiveness of RSH is passionately debated [20,21] with fatigue criteria definition and/or repeated-sprint test control [22,23]. However, the growing interest for implementing RSH in different sports at an elite or professional level (e.g., Roland Garros Tennis Academy, Welsh national rugby team, Swedish National Wintersport Centre, French alpine and cross-country ski national teams) highlights the question of the effectiveness of RSH and therefore underlines the importance of a meta-analytic review of RSH.…”
